SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Drug Offender’s Drivers License 

Suspension Certification. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0579 

(Expiration Date: September 30, 2007). 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Notices 18511 

Background: States are legally 

required to enact and enforce laws that 

revoke or suspend the drivers licenses 

of any individual convicted of a drug 

offense and to make annual 

certifications to the FHWA on their 

actions. The implementing regulations 

of the Department of Transportation and 

Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 

1993 (Public Law 102–388, October 6, 

1992) require annual certifications by 

the Governors. In this regard, the State 

must submit by January 1 of each year 

either a written certification, signed by 

the Governor, stating that the State is in 

compliance with 23 U.S.C. 159; or a 

written certification stating that the 

Governor is opposed to the enactment or 

enforcement, and that the State 

legislature has adopted a resolution 

expressing its opposition to 23 U.S.C. 

159. 

Beginning in Fiscal Year 1996, States’

failure to comply by October 1 of each 

fiscal year resulted in a withholding 

penalty of 10 percent from major 

categories of Federal-aid funds (i.e., 

National Highway System, Surface 

Transportation Program and the 

Interstate Maintenance Program) from 

States’ apportionments for the fiscal 

year. Any funds withheld in Fiscal Year 

1996 and thereafter cannot be restored 

and will be redistributed. 

Respondents: 50 States and the 

District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

Annual average of 5 hours for each 

respondent; 260 total annual burden 

hours.

Highway Administration, Office of 

Safety, 400 Seventh Street, SW.,

from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of 

these information collections, including: 

(1) Whether the proposed collections are 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burdens could be 

minimized, including use of electronic 

technology, without reducing the 

quality of the collected information. The 

agency will summarize and/or include 

your comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of these information 

collections.
